Sales Development Representative - UK

Our ideal candidate is someone with experience in a sales development role, who is hungry for success and loves challenges. In addition to being very organised and analytical, you love investigating the customer needs and will also demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills.

Sweep maps climate and ESG data across an entire business to reduce carbon emissions, improve social and environmental performance, and create audit-ready reports to run the best sustainability programs. Sweep empowers companies to build resilience to global challenges with technology

As part of the Sales team, you will be on the front line of the sales process for the UK market, working on the top of the funnel to contact our ideal customer profile and generate sales qualified leads to the account executives.

1. Identifying leads 🔎

• Identifying the right messaging to trigger a conversation.

• Launching multi-thread outbound campaigns with compelling follow-ups.

• Reporting on the campaign results and proposing ways to improve conversion rates.

3. Qualifying 🔬

• Making sure the prospect fits our target profile.

• Highlighting Sweep’s value to raise interest.

• Qualifying business opportunities.

• Booking meetings with Account Executives.

• Ensuring all communications are logged in the CRM and information is accurate.
